Product Description
A round hot tub with a genuinely wooden interior
The TimberIN Nordic™ Wooden Basic hot tub is a round all-spruce tub in four sizes for 4–14 people. The floor, walls and benches touching the water are the wood itself, with no plastic or fibreglass shell. Its Basic profile has no wide rim and no lid in the base (height 1,020 mm).
Choose the size, one of twelve heatings, the lid, stairs and accessories; the order summary shows exactly what is supplied. To compare lower-cost options across the range, see our guide to cheap hot tubs.
Dimensions, capacity and water volume
| Internal diameter | External diameter | External height | Manufacturer capacity | Approximate volume |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1,600 mm | 1,680 mm | 1,020 mm | 4–6 people | 1,400 litres |
| 1,800 mm | 1,880 mm | 1,020 mm | 6–8 people | 1,800 litres |
| 2,000 mm | 2,080 mm | 1,020 mm | 8–10 people | 2,300 litres |
| 2,200 mm | 2,280 mm | 1,020 mm | 10–14 people | 2,700 litres |
Capacities and volumes are approximate manufacturer figures. Choose for the usual group rather than an occasional maximum gathering: water volume rises from approximately 1,400 litres in the 1,600 mm tub to 2,700 litres in the 2,200 mm version.
Because the product is handmade, confirm critical access, construction and lifting dimensions on the final order drawing.
Spruce construction and bench layout
This Wooden Basic model is made in spruce only. The same tub in Thermowood is the TimberIN Nordic™ Thermowood Basic.
The heater location changes the seating. An external heater preserves a 360° circular bench. The internal heater sits in the tub behind protection, occupies approximately a quarter of the circle and leaves 270° of bench seating.
Twelve heatings around the internal 26 kW or external 22–40 kW AISI 316 stove (by size)
| Configuration | Documented specification | Practical effect |
|---|---|---|
| External wood heater | 22 kW up to 1,800 mm, 28 kW at 2,000 mm, 40 kW at 2,200 mm; AISI 316 stainless steel | Preserves the full bench circle; needs the heater and connections beside the tub |
| Internal wood heater | 26 kW, AISI 316 stainless steel | Keeps the heater within the tub’s circle; reduces bench seating to 270° |
| Electric 6 kW | 220 V single phase (26 A) or 380 V three phases (14 A); 9, 12 or 15 kW available | No stove or chimney; 360° bench; possible with the assembled tub and with the kit |
| Hybrid electric | 6 kW electric heater plus the internal or the external wood stove | Electric heating and wood firing in one tub |
| Hybrid heat pump | 5 kW Wi-Fi heat pump (heating and cooling; 220 V single-phase, 5 A) plus the internal or the external wood stove | The sand filter is required and added automatically |
| Connections for your own heater | 50 mm connections with shut-off valves; no heater supplied | Links the tub to a heating system you already have |
| Pellet | 30 kW AISI 316 pellet stove, integrated or external, controlled over Wi-Fi | Automatic feeding instead of logs |
| Gas | 24 kW LPG (propane) water heater at 30 mbar; the pressure reducer is not included | Placed beside the tub |
| Bioheater | Bioheater, 19 kW, with connections, fuel tank, circulation pump and smart plug | Placed beside the tub |
Every heating is offered in all four diameters: 48 combinations. To order without a heater, choose the connections for your own heater. Electric heating is possible with the pre-assembled tub and with the flat-packed kit.
No fixed heating time is documented. The water volume, starting temperature, weather, fuel, cover and heater arrangement all influence heating, so a single duration would not reliably describe every size.
Equipment available in the UK configuration
Options: air-bubble massage with a wooden equipment box (£680); sand filtration with a large wooden enclosure (£790; required, and added automatically, with the heat-pump hybrids); two or four LEDs; Wi-Fi app/voice control kits for air massage (£160) and sand filtration (£160), and a scheduled on/off kit for the electric heater (£190, with the electric heatings only). Most option groups accept several choices or “None”; shipping and water release take one choice.
With the wood and pellet stove heatings: an ash shovel and rake, a chimney fence and, with the internal stove only, a stainless-steel lid on the heater. A wooden mini-bar (£35) is a separate option.
Wooden cover, steps and drainage
Lids are options: a wooden lid (£190) and/or an insulated leather lid (£490), with either stove; for the internal stove the leather lid has a cut-out.
Included: the benches and the mixing paddle. Stairs are options: type A (£190), type B (£60; approximately 500 mm wide, 550 mm deep and 500 mm high) and type C (£290).
For emptying, the UK selector preselects an external water tap (£70), which you can untick, or offers the tap with a quick adapter for 12.5 or 15 mm garden hoses (£95).
Confirm what is supplied
Each option group asks for a choice or “None”; the tap and pre-assembled GREEN-zone delivery are preselected and can be changed. Do not infer stairs, lids, drainage or stove accessories from a photograph; the final quotation and order summary define the supplied equipment.
Installation, access and delivery
Start with the tub’s external diameter, then allow for steps, cover handling and, with external heating, a heater body of approximately 400 × 620 × 670 mm before connections and required clearances. Confirm foundation design, full operating load and safe distances for the actual configuration and site.
The UK page offers factory-assembled or flat-packed kit delivery for both green and yellow zones. Every heating, electric included, is available both assembled and as a kit. Check access from the delivery point to the assembly site before selecting the format.
There is no separate driver-unloading assistance option in the UK selector. Agree unloading equipment and responsibilities, the route across the property and final placement before dispatch. A delivery-zone charge does not by itself include positioning on the base.
Why choose Wooden Basic?
Choose Wooden Basic for the all-spruce tub without the wide rim — the most affordable TimberIN all-wood tub: four sizes for 4–14 people and twelve heatings. Internal heating keeps more of the equipment within the tub footprint; external heating preserves the complete bench circle.
TimberIN Nordic™ Thermowood Basic is the same tub in Thermowood; TimberIN Nordic™ Deluxe adds the wide rounded rim. Compare all wooden hot tubs.
Nordic Duo Wood instead offers a compact oval all-wood format for one or two people, with eight heatings around the external stove. Wooden Basic suits groups starting at 4–6 people and offers the internal-heater alternative.
Frequently asked questions
The selected configuration, final drawing and accepted order documents take precedence for the product supplied.
Which sizes and capacities are available?
Internal diameters are 1,600 mm for 4–6 people and about 1,400 litres; 1,800 mm for 6–8 and 1,800 litres; 2,000 mm for 8–10 and 2,300 litres; and 2,200 mm for 10–14 and 2,700 litres. Figures are approximate.
Does the tub have a synthetic liner?
No. The documented floor, walls and benches in contact with water are spruce.
How do the internal and external heaters differ?
The external heater (22 kW up to 1,800 mm, 28 kW at 2,000 mm, 40 kW at 2,200 mm) sits beside the tub and preserves 360° of bench seating. The internal 26 kW heater sits behind protection within the tub and leaves about 270° of seating. The documented heaters are AISI 316 stainless steel.
Can I select electric or hybrid heating?
Yes. Twelve heatings are offered: the internal or external wood stove; the 6 kW electric heater (220 V single phase, 26 A, or 380 V three phases, 14 A; 9, 12 or 15 kW available); electric or heat-pump hybrids with either stove; integrated or external pellet stoves; gas; the bioheater; or connections for your own heater. Electric heating is possible with the assembled tub and with the kit.
How long will heating take?
No fixed time is documented. Volumes range from approximately 1,400 to 2,700 litres, and starting temperature, heater use, weather and cover all affect the result.
What is included by default?
The benches and the paddle. Stairs are optional extras: type A (£190), type B (£60) and type C (£290); the lids, tap and other accessories are options too.
Which comfort equipment can I choose in the UK?
Air-bubble massage (£680), sand filtration (£790), two or four LEDs and Smart SPA control kits (£160 / £160 / £190; the electric-heater kit with the electric heatings only), plus a wooden mini-bar, lids and, with the stove heatings, metal parts.
Can I select an insulated leather cover here?
Yes. The insulated leather lid costs £490 and fits with either stove (with a cut-out for the internal stove); the wooden lid costs £190. Choose either, both or none.
Is delivery assembled or as a kit?
Both factory-assembled and flat-packed versions are offered in the UK delivery-zone groups. Confirm the exact transport dimensions and access for the order.
Who unloads and places the tub?
Agree those responsibilities and handling equipment before dispatch. The UK page has no separate driver-unloading option, and delivery does not automatically include final positioning.
What electrical preparation is needed?
The 6 kW electric heater needs 220 V single phase (26 A) or 380 V three phases (14 A); the 9, 12 and 15 kW heaters need three phases. Spa equipment: air massage 220 V single-phase, 4 A; sand filter 220 V single-phase, 2 A; the 5 kW heat pump 220 V single-phase, 5 A. Have a qualified electrician design the installation.
What care and warranty instructions apply?
Obtain instructions and terms for the actual spruce tub, heater and accessories before commissioning.
Can I order it without a heater?
Yes. Choose “Connections for your own heater”: 50 mm connections with shut-off valves to link the tub to a heating system you already have, with no heater supplied.

The drivers were great. After arriving at 8am and a quick coffee we all went about working out how to get the tub into place over 100 yards through the garden. They were with me until 9.30 and ensured it was in the correct place.
The tub looks good. At the weekend we set about installing the filter plus the external log burner, as well as filling up the tub with water. The log burner is a great feature, although you do have to be careful to have dry quality wood otherwise there is a lot of smoke! The kids have already enjoyed the tub, and love it.
We look forward to when the thermo wood has settled and properly sealed itself in the next month. We are sure we will get years of use from the tub on starry nights in winter and summer, both relaxing with friends or having fun with the kids; the simplicity of the workmanship makes it an attractive addition to our outdoor space.
Thank you
Kind regards
Lloyd
Hi Albert,
I hope that all is well. Please see pictures attached. Here are my comments that you are free to add to your website as my testimonial:
“Throughout the entire ordering process, Albert and his team couldn’t have been any more helpful with guidance, answering my many questions and keeping me updated throughout the manufacture and transport of my hot tub. When it arrived, the driver and his assistant were extremely helpful and hard-working with a “challenging” logistical problem of getting the hot tub into my garden.
Now that it is here, it is wonderful! It has been very difficult to get my wife out of the hot tub for the past week since it has arrived, and many family members have also come over to share in the fun!
If you are considering purchasing one of these products, I would highly recommend Albert and his team. The tub is of high quality and compared to others I looked at it was a very reasonable price.
Thank you TimberIN!”
Hi Albert, I’m going to give you more than one photo so that you can choose the one you want. Here is the text:
Thank you, Albert!
Timberin make a wonderful hot tub! I chose the Thermawood 1800mm model and it is just what I wanted, at a really good price. We happily get 6 adults in and could get more. It looks beautiful with lovely curved steps going up to it. My guests and friends just love it, and it has been in use almost continuously since the guys delivered it and I had a chance to fill and heat it. The heating is straightforward, and I can use up all sorts of waste wood on it which I can’t use in the log burners (wood with nails, softwood logs etc). I can really recommend Timberin.
